Dear Jonathan, I hope this message finds you well. On behalf of the HOW2026 organizing committee, I am delighted to invite you to attend the HOW2026 conference, which will be held in Jinan, China from April 26–28, 2026. You can find more details at www.ivorysql.io <http://www.ivorysql.io/>. As a respected member of the PostgreSQL core team, your presence would be truly meaningful to us and the broader community. Since last year, Bruce has been attending events in China, and we've seen firsthand how much his presence has energized the local community. We would love to continue building on that momentum and welcome more core team members to connect with PostgreSQL enthusiasts here. Of course, if any other core team members would be interested in joining, they would be more than welcome as well. Our vision for HOW2026 is to serve as a bridge that unites the global PostgreSQL community. China has a growing and passionate PostgreSQL user base, and having you there would send a powerful message of collaboration and inclusivity. We would be honored to have you participate—whether as a keynote speaker, panelist, or in any capacity you're comfortable with. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything I can help with. I truly hope we can welcome you to Jinan next April. Warm regards, Grant Highgo Software (Canada) www.highgo.ca 9850 King George Blvd suite 300, Surrey, BC V3T 4Y3
